Lifestyle meets Raj Sharma owner of Love Shakes and Cakes who swapped the chemistry lab for the kitchen

What is your

background? I studied Applied Chemistry, after working approx 10 years in the Chemical waste industry, I was looking for a new challenge, an opportunity came up on the Albert Dock to run a French Creperie. It took me a while to consider the change, but as I love learning and taking on new challenges I took on the opportunity and made a success out of it. After this Love Shakes N Cakes, was the kind of business that I wanted to do and run. This has truly made me feel that a change in career was not a wrong move.

Tell us about your

business? Love Shakes N Cakes is a family run company with my mum, wife and three children who love helping out like my little elf’s alongside my staff who I always treat like my family. We offer three different areas at Love Shakes N Cakes - Milkshakes, desserts and deli food. From chocolate shakes, to waffles, sundaes to brownies, wraps to hot dogs. We have it all. There is something for everyone in our family business we have so much to offer that we just keep adding on to our menu from time to time. We love our customers and always serve with a smile.

Is there a science to

baking? Yes there is, like anything the important to success is in the making. So making sure the method is right in terms of measurement, pouring, Mixing and timing is very important. This is what we love doing at Love Shakes N Cakes hence why the product is so tasty that customers keep on coming back to us.

What is so special about

your cakes? We pick and choose different kinds of cakes in our shop, Cakes that are very rare to get in most other places such as our rainbow cake and red velvet cake, these are two our customers can not get enough off them.

What is your favourite

dessert? I would have to choose the Biscoff Waffle. There is something about the combination of crushed biscoff and white chocolate sauce covered all over a waffle. It’s my favourite on my cheat day.

Is there a story behind

your name? We could have called it just Shakes N Cakes, but because there is so much Love for the place. Love the family and staff members, Love for our customers coming back again and again,

Love for the Area that we are based, Love for how we make our product. Hence why we added the Love to the name. It just automatically brings a smile to your face LOVE SHAKES N CAKES.

Are you looking forward

to Christmas? Christmas comes around to fast nowadays, but we are always in the mood for a festive season, we are preparing a lot of old school style sweet jars, which our customers love putting into there children stocking, as well as making selected cake boxes for our customers to enjoy the festive season with there favourite cakes.

What are you looking forward to about the

Lifestyle Awards? Wow the name itself sounds so beautiful, so being a part of it is an honour in itself, I’m looking forward to bringing my cakes over for people to try, also meeting a lot of new people in the wonderful city of Liverpool. Oh yes not forgetting the after party, haha.
